Tandem postsynthetic modification of a metal-organic framework by thermal elimination and subsequent bromination: effects on absorption properties and photoluminescence

Abstract

Inside and outside: Two consecutive postsynthetic modifications, first an elimination reaction in the channels and then bromination at the surface, were realized in a new hybrid metal-organic framework. The dramatic effects of the different groups in the channels and at the surface were studied using gas sorption and the loading/release of solvent and iodine.
